Sorry, tab put me in the 'send' button in gmail too early... I meant:

import itertools

colorcycler =3D itertools.cycle(['blue','green','red','magenta','cyan']).ne=
xt
linecycler =3D itertools.cycle([ '-','--', '-.' , ':' ]).next
n =3D itertools.count().next

y =3D array([1,2,3])

for i in range(10):
    plot(y+n(),color=3Dcolorcycler(),linestyle=3Dlinecycler())
